History

The company was founded in 1989 as Supercomputing Services and Engineering Systems Company (SSESCO) and provided modeling and visualization services to solve atmospheric and physical science problems. SSESCO worked on environmental research and development projects focused on emerging wind technology for the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US Air Force, Harvard University, the Israeli Military and others.      Through applying advanced computational techniques and meteorological expertise, WindLogics (as it was renamed in 2004), became a leading provider of wind knowledge for utility-scale project development and grid integration. It was this expertise that attracted NextEra Energy Resources to purchase WindLogics in 2006.     As a wholly owned independent subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, WindLogics focused on wind and solar energy forecasting and optimization. In 2011, the company began expanding its products and services to other energy-industry verticals including plant operations, grid operations and power marketing.     In 2019, WindLogics became NextEra Analytics, Inc. Today, we work on energy management from generation to consumption. Applying expertise in advanced mathematics, data and physical sciences, we solve some of the hardest problems facing the energy industry.
